We can re-write the premises as follows:
1. All life will end in peace and prosperity and the end result is for each life to be without suffering.
2. Honour and Value is a worthy goal of suffering for a period, given that life will end in peace and without suffering.
3. In order to create some suffering that would bring about honour and value, some suffering would not.
4. There is wisdom in enriching the sentient honour and value experience with different type of suffering in the system.
5. Honour and Value gained through the system of struggle and suffering, cannot be given without such a system.
6. Therefore over all system of suffering could have been created to enrich sentient life experience.
7. A benevolent Creator therefore seems compatible with the world we live in.
